How to add a description to organizers ?

[coach-abondance]

Thanks for help !

This is unfortunately not viable at this point, beyond what’s already built into the plugin. Since the organizers don’t have their own frontend page there’s no place for this to appear as it stands. Let me know if I misunderstood the request here and I can keep looking into it as needed. Cheers!

I’ll try to build some hack and keep you posted.

If you dig anything up, I’m sure the community would very much appreciate reading it. Sorry I couldn’t offer up more here.

Hi,
A first step is obvious : in the the-events-calendar-class.php file at line 46, add the fields to show when opening the “organizer” page :
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’,’excerpt’),
(note : for a better SEO efficiency, the same should be done for Venues at line 35)

This way you can edit Title and description, which also improves the permalink : /?tribe_organizer=name

Question : how to have a “regular” permalink such as /organizer/name ?
I have tried to set ‘rewrite’ (line 42) to
“=> array(‘slug’=>’arganizer’, ‘with_front’ => false),”
instead of “false”, but then the link is not recognized…
Any idea ?

Are you using “pretty” permalinks on your site? IE something like /%postname%/?

[coach-abondance]

Yes the permalink structure is /%category%/%postname%.
But TEC builds its own permalink structure …
If you have an idea to set the Organiser permalink to /organizer/organizer_name it would be fantastic! (organizer_name = name_field=tribe_get_organizer() )

Ah, that’s something we’ll need to add down the road when we enable frontend organizer pages officially. I’ll see if our dev Jonah has any suggestions off the top of his head too.

Hey Coach, I’m not sure how to do this myself so I’ve asked one of the other devs to help if it’s an easy modification. Stay tuned.

Hi Coach, unfortunately ours devs took a look at this and the fix is complicated and we cannot spend the time on a solution. You will either have to hire a developer for this or add it as a feature request and it may make it in in a future release.

Jonah

Hi all,
You’re nice and kind people, but none of my questions found an answer…
I have switched to another WP calendar solution…
Sorry,
